There are many pivoting lessons that I have learned throughout my coaching career, trainings and my experiences in life. So, what is the most valuable lesson I have learned?
~ Re-write your story ~
Sounds simple enough.
Let go of the past, don’t let your mistakes define you and create a new story.
Is it really that easy?
Not always. Most of the time, we need to heal from the limits we've been conditioned to, learn to regulate our emotions and then actively work on envisioning and feeling into our new life story as if it has already happened.
The best teacher on this is Dr. Joe Dispenza. He talks about rewiring our conscious and subconscious to create a new story that will essentially create a momentum for our lives to be fulfilling, satisfying and manifesting.
A major part of manifesting is letting go of what no longer serves us. So, it takes a huge effort to actively re-direct our thoughts, shift our mind to focus on positives and not sit too long into our limiting beliefs/negative past. Then making time to sit with yourself and intensely meditate as you envision the way you would like to see your life go without placing limitations.
Does it work? …Well, let me share my story.
I discovered Dr. Joe Dispenza and I started listening to his youtube meditations. Then, I started diving into meditating on my own. The new story I was trying to manifest was where I purchased a home for my son and myself, and this would lead to my son being happier, have a better experience at school and also more freedom for myself. I also wanted to manifest consistent clients and not wonder when my next client would be enrolling. I also wanted to manifest a relationship where I didn’t have to sell who I was to another person and to just be comfortable with that person.
During this meditation journey, I pictured myself in a bright lit kitchen in my new house. The countertops were white; quartz. I slowly walked around to an open floor plan into my living room. The entire home felt open, bright and inviting. Next approaches me is my son. Extremely happy, healthy, thriving and with friends that he made from school. Then, I felt the presence of a man, couldn’t see a face, but felt loved, understood and comfortable with.
I would practice this often. And it was indeed a practice.
But eventually this led me to have what felt like an experience that was in between watching my life and watching a movie at the same time.
So, one day, I was so engulfed into my meditation that when I opened my eyes, I was still there in the place that I was envisioning, and it lasted for hours. That is the epitome of embodiment. It was such an empowering experience. For those few hours, I was living in dual realities. I would walk into my kitchen in my embodiment state and I was seeing a quartz countertop island and I was running my fingers along it, with enduring a beautiful wooden floor with lots of space. In reality, I was walking into a crammed kitchen with a leaking ceiling, two side tables pushed together as a makeshift island and broken laminate flooring. How I pictured this new house was actually an old farm house, a project that I get to make mine. I was experiencing myself walking outside of my home sitting on lots of lands, when in reality, this house wasn’t even mine that we were living in. Even when I was driving my son to school and then headed to work, I could feel as though, I was in another reality. The energy I felt as if I could go at my leisure and had the financial freedom and schedule to work my life however I pleased and seemed fit. In my envisioning state, I was taking my son to a school that he loved, wasn't bullied in and excelled from. Then I would go to my career, not my job. When I actually got to my place of work, I wasn’t there, instead I felt as though I was walking into a corporate building. In reality, I walked into my office space where my desk was a folding table, yet I was envisioning & feeling something else. My envisioned office was a modern space with a touch of a rustic feel. I had a nice large desk and a consulting table to the side. On my way to my office, I felt that I had walked past many happy and satisfied employees working to be of service to others as well, fighting for the same missions as me. All of them feeling appreciated and significant.
So, did it come true?... You tell me
A year later, I purchased a home regardless of the odds stacked against me – inflation, raised interest rates and incomes doubling turning middle class to lower class. However, I bought this house and it was completely outside of the area that I thought we would end up, but turned out to be the perfect area for us. My new home has 6 acres, a horse barn and pasture. My son had to switch schools, and after a month into being at the new school, he is thriving. No bullying, great grades and enrolled in classes such as business math, teaching how to do taxes and learning how to cook (which he likes to do). In this new house, I have large windows in my living room that brings in a lot of light. I have an open floor plan between the living room and kitchen. The house needs a ton of work, but I get to make it mine. The kitchen needed to be completely renovated, but luckily I found a steal on Facebook marketplace. A whole brand-new kitchen for $350!!… and guess what?! Quartz counter tops and island!! I wanted consistent clients, so a couple months after purchasing my home, my realtor tagged me in a Facebook post, “ISO: Life Coach”. I reached out to the person to only find out that he was searching for a life coach for an organization he worked for. So, not only do I work with and life coach those who were incarcerated and are transitioning back in on a consistent weekly basis, but I was also given the opportunity to conduct youth and adult anger management classes! I was able to find a wonderful building that holds lots of office spaces for rent. I was able to find a price that worked for me. This building used to be an old industrial company, so its aesthetics has the combination of modern, rustic, industrial and a warmth feel. Also, did I mention I am dating my best friend of 14 years. We have been together for over a year now, and we’re still growing together each day with patience, understanding and an open heart/open mind. Now that’s having to walk into a loving relationship without having to feel like I needed to start over, but someone who already knows me and admires who I am.
So, did it all come true?
I didn’t get the location that I thought I would get, but I got the one that I needed. I haven’t built an empire yet, but I’m on my way. I haven’t created a business that runs itself enough for me to have the schedule and freedom that I desire yet, but its in the making. The house doesn’t look exactly how I pictured it, but its mine and I can always expand it. I don’t have any employees working under me, it’s still just me striving and grinding every day. I don’t have the financial freedom but I’m reaching the most money I’ve made yet to date and will continue to grow my finances, so my focus will be more on serving and not just surviving. Things may not happen exactly how you pictured it or as fast as you want it to be, but the right things will come to you at the right time and the correct way, if you continue to believe it to be true.
If you thought it, there’s a reason why that thought is there.
So, here's my question to you - If limits weren’t an option, what would you like to achieve?
I saw myself with a home with a lot of land, I never thought in a million years that I would actually achieve it! It is possible. Even in this economy, it is possible. Limits are only existent in our minds.
